Earlier this week, Apple released the first developer preview of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. At the same time, Apple listed a number of new features we hadn't yet heard about, which are quite interesting. There are two themes: bringing iOS to Mac OS X, and adding features other operating systems have had for ages - except in such a way that you can actually use them. Update: Fixed that scrolling thing. It's the other way around of course.

The answer is simple: I use Gentoo and NetBSD in my boxes at home (at work everything is Windows), but my laptop is a mac: And the beauty of the mac is that while you still have a unix box, you also have a nice UI on top of it (though KDE is also beautiful) and, the most important thing: every device, monitor, printer, etc. etc. that gets connected to your mac, simply works out of the box and installing/configuring it is quite simpler than in a Linux or BSD box.
